Washington Post’s Margaret Sullivan Rates the Political Media

November 7, 2016 By WHC Insider

Margaret Sullivan lists out the media’s 13 best moments of Campaign 2016.

“Unfiltered free publicity for Donald Trump. A near-coronation for Hillary Clinton. Paid pundits in the tank for candidates, right and left. False equivalency that put one candidate’s lack of news conferences on a par with another’s racism and misogyny,” she writes.  “Yes, we the media have done all this and more over the past 18 months.”

Take a look at her list of all of the baker’s dozen moments in her article, It Wasn’t All Bad on the Washington Post website.

Sullivan is the Washington Post’s media columnist.  Previously, she was the New York Times public editor, and the chief editor of the Buffalo News, her hometown paper.
